chilli, mention has been made of gardening leave and other things, and they may have applied back then. However, he is not employed by Red Bull; he provides his services to them via his service company, so therefore gardening leave, in theory, would not apply.
But more to the point, this has subject has be thrashed around for over a week now, and yet neither Newey or Red Bull have mentioned anything. For all we know, Newey may have made a disparaging remark about something he ate in the works canteen or maybe someone failed to sharpen his pencils in the drawing office and he was a bit narked. And the story has gone from one employee to another in whispered tones, and it now become a "fact" that he is leaving because the custard was lumpy when poured on to his stick toffee pudding.
